Rural entrepreneurship: expanding the horizons

Alex Avramenko, Jane A.K. Silver · 2009 · International Journal of Entrepreneurship and Innovation Management

Summary. Rural entrepreneurs typically operate within local or regional constraints, but this paper argues they should expand beyond territorial boundaries. The authors show that rural businesses can export solutions to problems elsewhere and import expertise from other regions. They use the 'passport to trade' project to demonstrate how understanding different local business cultures enables successful cross-regional commerce, challenging policies that treat rural entrepreneurship as purely local.
